Abhishegam (also abhiseka, abhishek, abhiṣeka ~ amongst other such transliterations) is a Sanskrit term comparable to puja, yagya and arati that denotes: a devotional activity; an enacted prayer [1], rite of passage and/or religious rite or ritual. It is a ritual common to all Dharmic faiths such as Hinduism, Buddhism, Bön and Jainism.

Abhishegam as a ritual

Abhisheka, also called Abhishegam, is conducted by priests, by pouring libations on the image of the deity being worshipped, amidst the chanting of mantras. Usually, offerings such as milk, yogurt, ghee, honey, Panchaamrutam, Sesame oil, rosewater, sandalwood paste may be poured among other offerings depending on the type of abhishekam being performed. This ritual is routinely performed in most Hindu and Jain temples. “Rudraabhisheka” (रुद्राभिषेक) (Abhisheka of Rudra) is performed on Shiva lingams.

Hinduism

Abhishegam is the name given to a late Vedic rite of anointing government officials, particularly heads of state, at the time of their taking power or to mark a signal achievement. It is also the bathing ceremony and anointing performed on certain festival days for the temple deities.
